According to
Statcounter my blog gets an average of 100 - 125 "unique" visitors daily, actual "page loads" are higher meaning some visitors are looking around at more than one post each time they drop by. With my visitor count standing at 99222 right now, it seems likely that I will reach the
100,000 mark in the next week or two.
Here is a breakdown of where the last 500 readers came from. (I get a kick out of that sort of information).

One of my most frequently visited pages is
HERE.
(Of the last 500 visitors, 78 were for this one page.) Seems my sorta-pattern for the
Knitty-Gritty Sockettes has gotten on a few free pattern listings.

They're cute enough, but when I put socks on my feet I want warmth. I don't even like those short little sport socks. For me it's either nice, warm, handknit, woolen ankle socks or, in hot weather, sockless.
So you bloggers who host contests now and again, how do you go about organizing that? I'm thinking I should have some kind of contest in honor of the 100,000 th visitor. How do you take entrants? How do you pick a winner? How long do you take entries before doing the draw? Any cautions I should know about? What makes a good prize?
